![]() ![]() So it’s hard for me to be like, oh, there’s one moment in life where you look at someone and you’re like, this is it. Jaren Lewison: I don’t know if there is one specific moment where… I don’t even know if in real life I don’t think that I’ve ever been in love before, so I don’t know what that feels like. When you look back, is there a moment you think that’s when Ben fell in love with Devi? It’s probably my favorite because there’s so much behind those words, and I just love that. I just thought that it was one of the most wonderful scenes that I have ever done in my entire career as an actor. The music and, oh my God, the wedding looks so beautiful. And then she’s like, what? It is just the most powerful scene I think for me as an actor because you’re looking back at 4 years of their relationship being built, and it all sort of culminates in this one massive moment of him finally saying that he loves Devi, and then her receiving it, and then also saying it back to him. And she’s like, you flew all the way here to tell me that you like me? And he’s like, I think I love you. In typical Ben and Devi fashion, it needs some pulling where he’s like, I like you. Harry literally ran across New York, but Ben has flown from New York to LA to finally let it all out there. I love when you crinkle your nose when you look at me like I’m nuts, and that was a moment where I was like, wow, this is very similar. Because when you look at the ending of that movie, Billy Crystal’s character, Harry, he sort of runs to Sally, and at New Year’s is like word vomiting how much he loves her. Jaren Lewison: When Harry Met Sally is one of my favorite movies of all time, and this scene was sort of reminiscent of that I think. Are you aware of the magnitude of a scene like that? Ben flying across the country, coming to Pati’s wedding, declaring his love for Devi is very much in the vein of like Pretty in Pink and Say Anything. That usually doesn’t happen, so I was just astounded by their brilliance and appreciative of what they came up with. It is very hard to sort of tie everything together and have every character end with a punch, end with an oomph. Obviously, throughout the whole series, but especially with that episode, because you’re right. I thought that Mindy and Lang and the rest of the writers did just an unbelievable job. I thought that the series finale script was just beyond brilliant. It was very weird to think about that, but obviously very excited when I read it. It was a weird feeling because you’re like, wow, this is the last new Never Have I Ever script I’m going to read. ![]() I think it was that 408 block where we got the script, the table read happened, and that’s when everyone was like, this is it. They were still literally writing scripts as we were shooting. ![]() They didn’t tell me at the beginning of shooting that Ben was going to end up with Devi. Jaren Lewison: I think I found out during the episode 408 filming block, so pretty much towards the end of season 4. How long did you know that it was going to be Ben in the end? NEVER HAVE I EVER Jaren Lewison and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Ben and Devi.
